{"product_id":"god-so-loved-the-world","title":"God So Loved the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eOf all the music John Stainer composed for his 1887 oratorio \u003cem\u003eThe Crucifixion\u003c\/em\u003e, none has endured quite like \u003cem\u003eGod So Loved the World\u003c\/em\u003e. Setting the words of John 3:16 with a harmonic tenderness that borders on the transcendent, it stands as one of the most quietly devastating expressions of sacred text in the choral repertoire — a moment of pure stillness at the heart of a work about sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrew Wainwright’s string orchestra arrangement preserves every ounce of that stillness. The strings carry the anthem’s gentle, hymn-like lines with warmth and restraint, allowing the music to breathe and the text’s meaning to resonate without embellishment. Conceived as a standalone concert work, the arrangement also functions seamlessly as an orchestral accompaniment to the original SATB choral parts — making it equally at home in a purely instrumental program or alongside voices in a choral service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Good Friday, Passiontide, or any occasion calling for music of deep spiritual weight, this is a piece that speaks directly to the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScored for string orchestra (violins I \u0026amp; II, viola, cello, bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforms as a standalone instrumental work or as choral accompaniment to the original SATB parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for Good Friday, Passiontide, sacred concerts, and memorial services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLyrical and restrained, with a hymn-like simplicity throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstant PDF download — score and parts included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArranged by Andrew Wainwright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d6YXPX4jb6k?si=C3vNzTjucL-WwUEk\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Wainwright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45577800417459,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/5634\/1427\/files\/GodsolovedtheworldStringOrchestraCover-AndrewWainwright.jpg?v=1781532905","url":"https:\/\/selfpublify.com\/products\/god-so-loved-the-world","provider":"SelfPublify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
